I scanned it before, and it was fine. But now I am trying to find out why the battery drains if I leave it parked 3 days or so, especially if I use the fob to lock it. Battery has been replaced, but not an agm battery. I checked all the fuses under the hood, in the trunk. I cant find any fuses inside the car on either side. This is a 335 so they are maybe different, nothing behind the passenger kick panel. I took down the obd connector and it looks fine. Where should power be going to on the obd? And I want to apply power to it to see if it starts to work using the probe tester will that work? Only obd I saw marked based on online checking is one under the hood. In the trunk the fuses are under the cargo carpet towards the inside.

Yep, the data port connector needs power. Here is a video that should help:

The port is powered by the fuse # 75 in the fuse panel under the right side of the dash.
